Troubleshooting
Factors Affecting Grooming
There are a number of factors that can affect the perfor-
mance of grooming. These factors vary for different golf
courses and from green to green. It is important to in-
spect the turf frequently and vary the grooming practice
with turf needs.
IMPORTANT: Improper or overaggressive use of
the groomer reel, such as too deep or frequent
grooming, may cause unnecessary stress on the
turf leading to severe turf damage. Use the groomer
carefully. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERA-
TION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING OR
TESTING GROOMER PERFORMANCE.
It is important to remember that factors affecting quality
of cut also affect grooming performance.
